A warning

I was debating making a post about this makeup company for a while just because it's kind of old news but changed my mind feeling that maybe it was just better to use what happened to warn people to check into makeup companies first before buying.

So.... here we go

This was a couple of years ago and I was looking for some bright and vibrant colors to play with (sugarpill was yet to be launched) and one of the girls I was working with told me about the great makeup company you could find through Etsy.com

Orglamix seemed great to me at the time. They were selling what they said to be organic makeup in an incredible array of colors at only $4.99 per loose shadows. I purchased 7 colors and they even sent me an extra one for free!

Left to right: Blue chakra, Green chakra, Absinthe, Yellow chakra, Orange chakra, Red chakra, Fuchsia, And the free color they threw in Pomegranate.  

I guess I was one of the lucky ones because the colors I purchased seemed great to me. Plus the Pomegranate color they gave me for free was definitely one of my favorites. I didn't have any adverse reactions to their products and I was happy with my purchase.

A while later I decided that I wanted to order more I tried to look for their store on Etsy and is was taken down. I guess they had so many complaints that caused Etsy to remove them as a seller. I looked further into what had happened and found that they were in the middle of a repackaging scandal. Many buyers reported finding Orglamix stickers covering stickers from other companies on their packaging. On further inspection of my own I found that I too had a double sticker....I can't get the top one off so I don't know what the one underneath says.

Some people also reported getting rashes and irritated eyes from using some of the colors. It's pretty shady business practice to lead people into believing that they are buying a certain product when they are actually getting another which may contain ingredients that are irritating or aren't even meant to be wore in a certain area. ie. the eyes

Anyway, I personally haven't had any problems and will continue to use the colors I purchased until they are empty but I know I will never buy from a company unless I've done my research again. Hope this pushes other to do their research too before buying cosmetics.
